In 2015, the Wüstenrot & Württembergische Group (W&W) posted the highest profit in the company's history, according to final figures, which came in at EUR 274,3 million (previous year: EUR 242,0 million). This confirms the interim figures presented in mid-February.

The strongest profit driver in 2015 was property and casualty insurance, with favourable claims development over the whole year. Cost development was likewise positive. As already announced, W&W is targeting consolidated net profit of at least EUR 220 million for 2016, depending on the development of interest rates and the capital markets. With respect to its greater presence on the exchanges, Deutsche Börse AG began listing W&W AG on the SDAX on 21 March.

Dr Alexander Erdland, Chairman of the Executive Board of W&W: "Wüstenrot & Württembergische concluded a very strong year in 2015. Against this background, we are particularly pleased that we were able to make the capital markets more familiar with our equity story. The upgrade to an SDAX company shows that more and more investors are acknowledging the business model, strategy and key figures of W&W AG."
